Chapter 82 - Malicious Gaze
The medical team immediately began treating Sam's opponent. The referee entered the battle ring and declared him the winner. Once again, many people began to cheer for him.
***********
Hahahaha…. As expected, you would have no trouble qualifying for the quarterfinals. I am very excited to face you in the quarter final.
You should prepare yourself, because you will not be able to ignore my challenge."
Alexa said this with a smile on her face. Today, she challenged Sam again, but he did not accept.
This did not discourage her; instead, she advised him to prepare for their fight in the quarterfinals.
Fiona let out a deep sigh after witnessing her behavior. She does not know what to say about her best friend. However, she did want to fight Sam.
It has been three days, and both Alexa and Fiona have qualified for the next match. Sam, like Alexa, is confident that they will both qualify for the quarterfinals.
Even in the story, both of them qualify for the semi-finals. So the quarterfinals would not be an issue for them.
"Come to think of it, Lisa, David, James, and the others are all qualified for the next round. Some of them will have an intense match.
I am very excited to see their match and learn about their full power. I am aware that they, like us, did not use their full power. So I am really curious about it."
"For the time being, forget about it and focus on your training. We did not have much time to prepare for the upcoming match."
"Hmph, do not worry, I am also preparing to defeat you in the quarterfinal. You should just prepare to be defeated by me."
Suddenly, both girls start to provoke each other. Sam did not know what to say and let them do whatever they wanted. However, he is also excited about the matches.
He will have a clear understanding of everyone's power level.
At this point, he drew the attention of a crowd who were watching him and the girls. They appear to have noticed him as well and turned away.
Sam is unsurprised by these developments because he and both of the girls have already achieved celebrity status. Naturally, many people will pay attention to them.
Sam just felt a malicious gaze directed at him. He became completely alert. Fortunately, he did not make any suspicious movements and attempted to determine the source while acting normally.
Even Alexa and Fiona had no idea what had happened to him. Unfortunately, it appears that he will not be able to find the source.
There were a lot of people inside the restaurant, and he was not sure who was the source.
Fortunately, they have already finished their meal. After a while, they left the restaurant and started walking toward the hotel.
"I believe both of you should devote your full attention to your training. Try not to go outside the hotel too much. Also, do not try to meet people who are not close to you or are completely unfamiliar to you."
Hearing this, both of the girls become serious. Despite their confusion about the sudden reminder, they can tell Sam wanted to alert them.
'But why did he suddenly alert them? Has something happened? Are they being targeted by someone?'
Several questions arose in their minds, but neither of them knew the answers. Sam's expression also suggests that he had no intention of telling them anything else.
They look at each other and decide to stay silent. Both have already decided to inform their families about the situation.
On the other hand, Sam wanted to tell them what had happened, but he lacked proof. What if it is just a misunderstanding?
As a result, he clearly did not explain anything and instead simply reminded them to be careful. He just hopes that both girls trust him.
'If both of them had their families involved in this matter, they would not have to be concerned about their safety. I must exercise extreme caution.
Even though I am not in danger right now, I may face danger once the entrance examination is completed. I guess I will have to prepare myself.
Come to think of it, according to my memory, there are some demon cult members present here. Are those the people who are after me?
I can not say for sure, but based on the story, this is possible. Even David was targeted by them. Just as he drew the attention of those prestigious academies, those individuals lacked the courage to act.'
Sam remembered those people from the demon cult and became serious. He was not sure if those were the people who were targeting him. However, if this is true, he must exercise extreme caution.
Looking at his sudden change, both girls wanted to ask what had happened, but they chose to remain silent.
True, they both consider him a close friend, but they did not want to put him under pressure to reveal his secret. It is just that they are willing to help him if he is in danger.
They both decided to notify their families about the situation and instructed them to keep an eye on their surroundings. Do not forget that during the second stage of the entrance examination, they were able to avoid the majority of the danger thanks to Sam.
Naturally, they are grateful, and if possible, they wish to assist him.
Like this, three of them entered the hotel room and went to their respective rooms. After entering the room, Sam began to think about the demon cult members. Unfortunately, he had no way of confirming whether his suspicion was correct or not.
'Sigh. Forget about that. I do not have a way to confirm this right now. I can only try to gain strength before the end of the entrance examination. At the very least, there would be an opportunity to escape the situation and contact the Warriors' Association.'
